Fun in the Sun

2010-06-30T13:05:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Gabe and Sarah took Kyle and I out to lunch since they could not be there for our wedding reception. Gabe is Kyle's God son. After lunch they came over to our apartment for some swimming. Gabe is so sweet and we were so glad to get to spend time with Gabe and Sarah.

Pizza and Game Night

2010-06-25T18:39:00.000-07:00

Tonight Kyle and I decided to use one of the recipe's that I had gotten at my bridal shower. We had my little brother Braxton over to spend the night. We made a homemade pizza that Susie had given us the recipe for!! We had so much fun making it!! We have been playing phase 10 and Dominos while waiting on the pizza to bake. It has been a fun night! Thank you Susie!

The new Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Bass

2009-09-27T14:22:00.000-07:00

Last night kyle and I went to Kristen and Lucas's wedding. It was held at Aldea. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous. Her colors were Dark plum purple and gold.

DATE NIGHT!!

2009-09-06T15:59:00.001-07:00

Kyle and I have had such opposite schedules lately the only time we are seeing each other is at school and at night if he stops by my work to say good night!! :( So on Friday night we both finally had a night off together and we decided to go to olive garden! YUMMY YUMMY!! The place was packed and we had to wait 45 minutes for our table, but it was well worth it. We had so much fun finally getting to hang out without having any place to be!

Bridal Shower

2009-09-05T09:41:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I threw a bridal shower for my friend Holly who's wedding I am in on October 3rd. There are 4 of us bridesmaids and together with Holly's mom we threw her bridal shower. It was filled with lots of food, fun, and some games!

What we have been up to...

2009-08-17T12:57:00.000-07:00

This was one of the 5 weddings we have to attend before ours. This was Jeremy and Kelly's wedding. She looked beautiful!

This is the house where Kyle and I are getting married at. It will take place in the front lawn of the house but the reception will be held inside and outside of the house. I am getting so excited!! It is only 9 months away!!

I went to visit my family in South Carolina this summer. While I was there I did a lot of wedding planning. We have a lot done but when I sit down and look at what we have left I don't even feel like we put a dent in the planning!! Every girl in the wedding has their dress so there is a little weight lifted off. We have a pastor to marry us and we have a our counseling sessions over Christmas break while we are there.

At the beginning of the summer kyle and I took a trip to California with 2 of our friends from church. It was nice and relaxing just hanging out on the beach all day!

Happy Late Birthday!

2009-04-25T09:21:00.000-07:00

Bailey's birthday was on Thursday, and since I had just moved into the apartment, I wasn't able to afford a birthday cake. :( But Happy Birthday anyways Bailey!!!

Bailey's First Hair Cut

2009-04-25T09:12:00.000-07:00

Since Bailey was starting to shed a lot more, because summer was coming, I decided to take my clippers and give Bailey a hair cut. She had so much hair, and now looks smaller. She actually did really good. But the favorite part is her tail. Make sure you see her tail lol.

Moving 2 Too Much

2009-04-07T23:37:00.000-07:00

So long story short...
Ashley had to move out of her house because of problems with one of her roomates. So she is now back living with her mom since Sunday night (4/5). The Friday two days before, I moved everything from my parents house to my new house. And since Ashley had to move back to her mom's house, she can no longer take care of Bailey and neither can I at my house. So we decided to lease an apartment and split the rent all for Bailey to be able to stay with me, while Ashley is still at home. Today we applied for the apartment, and tomorrow we will here from the lady to see if I can live there. I pray that we will be accepted because I have no clue where Bailey would live, and I can't give her away. And if we are approved, then I will move in next Friday the 17 for hopefully the last time lol. So in a matter of a month I will have moved twice myself on top of moving Ashley back to her mom's. That is just too many times to move in a month.

Family Fun Dates

2009-01-13T13:24:00.000-08:00

Well I thought it was boring to just walk bailey around since she likes to pull us around, so I got some roller blades from Dicks (thanks Hans) and Ashley grabbed hers from her moms house. We went on our first ride with Bailey up to Sonic and had a lunch date. It was a hard workout, but we enjoyed it a lot and Ashley wants to get in a size six for our wedding lol. So we are gonna try and do this at least once a week if anyone once to join us. We had a lot of fun!!!

Girls Night

2009-01-11T14:29:00.001-08:00

On Thursday night my 4 girlfriends from high school and I went out to eat at a restaurant called Saporra. Instead of doing Christmas presents with each other we decided to do a nice dinner. They cook the meal right in front of you just like at Ah - So. It was really nice and we all had a fun time catching up on things :)

ALL NEW

2009-01-08T12:32:00.001-08:00

So Bailey decided my comforter was a chew toy while I was on vacation thank you Kyle for watching her so well! :) lol So I was at target the other day and found hot pink SATIN sheets!! They were on sale so I snagged them :) They are so comfortable. I also bought a black comforter to go over them so that everything in my room still matches. (that is important) Then I had Jamie Bravo give me a trim on my hair and dyed it a chocolate brown color! It looks so silky smooth and all one beautiful color :) I love it!

ITS BACK!

2009-01-06T16:22:00.000-08:00

The bachelor is back!! Monday night Amy and I were ready to go at 7:00pm with our kettle corn and blankets. We spent the entire 2 hours picking our favorites and analyzing the girls. We picked out a few good ones that are still in the running! :)

Kyle was a good sport and made our delicious kettle corn for us :)

Christmas

2009-01-04T13:27:00.000-08:00

This Christmas Kyle and I had to separate :( I went to visit my family in South Carolina while Kyle went with his family to Disneyland. They left Christmas day and returned on the 29th. Just in time to pick me up from the airport on the 30th. I left earlier than they did. I left on the 18th and came home just in time for new years. Kyle's parents have the pictures from Disneyland on their comupter. Here are a few from my trip out to south carolina. That is one of my best friends Katie( a bridesmaid) My grandma and I in the kitchen cooking and the family Karli on the left then Kelly Dolan Dad and then Me.

Bailey's Ready for Halloween!

2008-10-27T23:03:00.000-07:00

We went to wal mart and bought bailey a t shirt for halloween since they don't make costumes in her size :( It says out of candy need refill! She just looks so cute. O and we bought her two more squeaky toys since she already went through her other squeaky toy. She loves her momma if you can't already tell! :)

Bridal Expo in Vistancia

2008-10-27T22:56:00.001-07:00

On saturday Jamie wanted a model for bride's hairdo's so I told her she could experiment with mine and look at the fabulous job she did?! It was exciting seeing the bridal gowns, and the cakes, and the pictures. I am getting so excited but just wish it was not so far away. For those who have not yet been informed we have changed the location to Edgefield South Carolina on June 5, 2010! I will finally be a Brannon Woot Woot! lol We just want a small country front yard wedding and that is exactly what I am getting. The big reception will take place when we get back from our honeymoon. And yes do not worry we will be in our dress and tux as well as have a hairdo plus music to dance to because we all know Amy needs to bust out her awesome dance moves that even dancing with the stars people use!! Next week we are going to get it on tape! :)

Time for Bailey's Cleaning

2008-10-27T22:46:00.001-07:00

Bailey actually let me file her nails so that she does not hurt people while loving on them! She has gotten so calm with all her grooming I love it. In the video she loves it so much she starts to clean herself! :)

The Out of Africa Video Project

2008-10-23T16:28:00.000-07:00

Ashley and I had to make a video on something in arizona for one of our classes. It took so much time to do, but we finally completed it with the help of my dad (Bobby). Thanks Dad. We did it on the Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde. We hope to visit the park again and actually enjoy the park without the camera. We hope you enjoy it.

And I (Kyle) just checked my grade for the project and I got a 90 out of 80 points on it and Ashley got 78 out of 80 points on it lol. Its ok honey. I still love you!

2008-10-16T19:32:00.000-07:00

Kyle's Facial

2008-09-22T18:17:00.000-07:00

With Miley around these days Kyle doesn't need to ever wash his face! He gets a weekly facial from Miley every Monday we come over! See... lol

From bark collar to carpet to CAGE!!

2008-09-21T15:10:00.000-07:00

So here is the background story. Bailey decided to chew up our remote and then get herself covered in mud in the garden while I was gone the other day. So my roomate had to lock her in a little gated area in the backyard and she was fine for a couple days we did this when I would leave the house so that she wouldn't get into any trouble. Well friday morning she decided it would be fun to bark as loud and obnoxiously as she could and wake the neighbors. So they left us threatning notes on our door saying they would call the cops if "we didn't shut our beep dogs up!" So I decided to get her a bark collar as seen in the picutre and then put her in my room where is was cooler for her. This worked for a day until last night when I came home to find my carpet as you can see completely tore up!!! The other carpet is previous carpet as to why we put her outside. This is costing me 200.00 dollars to get fixed!!! So then I decided she needed a bigger cage because she out grew her other one and barked too loudly I didnt want to wake my roomates. So I had to go buy her a 75.00 dollar cage that takes up the rest of my tiny room!! Now we can leave her in there and she wont bark because she gets shocked and stays out of TROUBLE! $300.00 later I am finally done!!! O my goodness!!

Lions and Tigers and Bears O MY!!

2008-09-19T21:36:00.001-07:00

Today Kyle and I went to the Out of Africa Wildlife Zoo to film our video project for our class at ASU West. We had so much fun. We got to pet a huge python, get close to some tigers and lions! A giraffe stuck his head in our tour bus to get his treats and ate them out of our hands!! It was awesome. We had to miss the tiger splash to get to work on time and the predator feed :(

But we are definately going to go again very soon!!!

Gabe's Birthday Presents

2008-09-17T14:44:00.001-07:00

Today Gabe and Sarah came over so Kyle and I could give him his birthday present. Gabe is Kyle's God son. He is 2 years old now and so freaking cute! We got him a remote control jeep it is so cool and he doesn't really know what to do with it lol But it was fun seeing him and hanging out with them today. O and I don't know if you can see how sweaty we are because me Air Conditioning is broken!! They just came today to fix it THANK GOODNESS!! :)

Future Teachers

2008-09-16T10:10:00.000-07:00

These are your future teachers! Every monday and friday kyle and I go to our internships at our schools we have been placed at. We observe, and sometimes they let us teach a lesson or help some students out. Kyle is placed at Western Sky middle school and I am placed at Verrado middle school.

Later on monday's kyle and I go to his house to have dinner with his parents and hang out :) This time we found a new addition to their family and Kyle was trying to bond with it, play with it, o and NOT STEP ON IT! :) Miley is so cute and so TINY! O and VERY SPOILED!!

Now It's Baileys Turn To Go Under The Knife

2008-09-08T17:55:00.000-07:00

Bailey went today to get spayed. That is why she is sporting her nice blue cone on her head lol. She did good through the surgery and lies around. Hopefully she feels better soon and is back to normal.

Colorado Family Vacation

2008-07-11T14:55:00.001-07:00

We started out on a very long drive up there... We stopped in New Mexico to stay the night, then headed out the next day right after breakfast. I pretty much used Kyle as my pillow for most of the road trip :) He is a good pillow! LOL The first day we got there was used to set up the tent pop up trailer and giving hugs hello!

Our trip was filled with so many back to back activities and a lot of laughing!!

FISHING...

GOLFING...

HORSE BACK RIDING...

BIKE RIDING... (TO WHERE MY BUTT HURT!!!)

COOKING THEN OF COURSE EATING IT AND THEN CLEANIN IT UP! ;)

Fav moments from the trip

2008-06-26T20:42:00.001-07:00

Kyle learned how we do it in the south to make our food. You have to go into the garden and DIG IT UP! Hanging out under the tent with the family eating lunch and just relaxing. The day after I got my ring I didn't waste anytime looking through the brides magazine and finding what I liked! Picture day on the beach turned out great. We finally taught Kyle to be a country boy and pee by a tree on the side of the highway! :)

Take me to the 50's

2008-06-26T20:37:00.000-07:00

These were some of my favorite pictures we took! They look so old fashion and just so pretty. They remind me of the 50's and this was our date night while we were there. We went to dinner and sat at a table over looking the ocean right on the pier. (This was the night kyle was going to propose until we got rained out and had to come home instead of walk along the ocean)!

WE GOT ENGAGED!

2008-06-26T20:27:00.000-07:00

Yes it is final! Kyle popped the question and Ashley Accepted! :) This is a re enactment of the actual proposal. Kyle actually did it the night before in that exact same spot. He made me cry and laugh and shake all at the same time. It could not have been more perfect. We have not set a date yet but will keep everyone posted!

Family Fun Day

2008-06-08T20:12:00.000-07:00

After only having 4 hours of sleep, I got up to go fishing with my dad and aunt Jenni. I caught a 10 lb bass. The camera ran out of batteries so there is no picture or video of it lol.
Once everyone else got to the lake around 9:30 we went swimming and threw around the football with uncle Rod, Serena and Tiffany.
I'm feeling some pain after not applying enough sunscreen lol. I hate being burnt because I'm leaving for Hilton Head, SC on Tuesday and will be at the beach all week. Ashley will take good care of me.

Birthday Golf

2008-06-08T20:04:00.000-07:00

Sunday after church me and my dad went golfing. Even though it was 102 degrees out I still managed to make it through 18 holes especially with my sunburn. He may have a different story but I really won!!! This video was on the 18th hole and I almost made it. It was amazing!!!

2008-06-05T23:51:00.000-07:00

Ashley made it safely to South Carolina this morning. She didn't have to fly in a prop plane, but just a huge jet. I wish I was on that flight with her, but I will be meeting her up there the morning of June 11. I can't wait!!!

My Cars

2008-06-02T10:08:00.000-07:00

This was my first car (a 1986 Camaro) and unfortunately some idiot had to pull out in front of me and my car was totaled. You would think they would've been able to see me with the bright bright bright yellow paint job lol.

This was my second car (another 1986 Camaro) and painted it orange with silver racing stripes and kept the wheels from the first Camaro.

This car was when I first started getting into sound systems. I only had 600 watts pushing two 10 inch Xplode subwoofers (in my car now I have 1000 watts powered to one 12 in Xplode). I love the bass hitting hard.

Both of my Camaros had this licensed plate. It was my first and so far only customize one. It says SWIM500. Yes, I am a swimmer and I love swimming long distances.

The third car I've had was this 1995 GMC Pickup. We have proof that Padaddy truly is a GM guy lol. I took this truck off roading once and had a blast. I can't wait to own another off road vehicle and do it again.

I don't have a picture, but right now I drive a 2003 Vibe and tired of it. I have my dad's genes and don't like to keep a car for a long period of time. I have had this car now for about a year and a half (too long). I really want to get a Jeep Wrangler, but gas right now is terrible, so I'll probably have to keep my car. I miss all my cars that I had. If I got to have one of them back, I would choose the truck because it was a big truck with a big engine and a loud exhaust.

Ashley Moves Out

2008-05-29T17:39:00.000-07:00

Kyle's mom, dad and sister came over to my new house and helped me move in. His mom bought me the shower curtain and bathroom set that I wanted (Thank you Amy!) I love living in my new house with my awesome roomates.

ashley goes under the knife

2008-04-20T13:59:00.000-07:00

I (Ashley) had my wisdom teeth pulled on Friday the 18th. I was pretty much knocked out the entire day. Amy (Kyle's mom) and tiffany (kyle's sister) brought my pretty yellow tulip flowers and a get well balloon. Thanks for the flowers they were pretty :) Kyle of course brought my orange flowers who could resist them :)

I (Kyle) had to take care of Ashley the whole day. But I guess it pays off because she is taking me out on a date. I could totally get used to this lol.

Then and Now

2008-04-12T09:57:00.000-07:00

Ashley's 2nd Birthday

Then and...

Finally after all these years I get her back lol

Dancing lessons...?

2008-04-10T19:53:00.000-07:00

We have been secretly taking disco dance lessons. Can you tell? This supports our craziness!

Camping in Parker

2008-04-10T18:43:00.000-07:00

We went camping with Kyle's family to Parker for the weekend. (3/15). Ashley survived her first jeeping trip with Padaddy! It was scary. We almost had an accident when we stalled and rolled backwards down a steep hill! We had a lot of fun hanging with the fam! :)
